Hi gents,

Intermediate surfer in Europe i.e. sobbier conditions more often than powerfull. 72KG/160 Lbs 5'9/177cm. I have a SP 5'4 for 1ft crap, a SF 5'10 for all round conditions, but now I want a go to board for avarage to good condition. So gents, would you ad:

5'6 spit - less volume and normal but more surface
5'10 Hellfire to basically cover 2-6ft covering everything from my SP to a stepup
6'1 Hell Razor for a more traditional shortboard alternative
5'10 Alternator with a easier to approach high performance shortboard

Mind you, that I could actually buy any two boards to supplement my quiver, but really need something for avarage to good conditions.
